Michelle Rodriguez has teased that she may make an unexpected return to both the Avatar and Fast & Furious franchises.

The Battle: Los Angeles star, whose characters seemingly died in the latest instalments of both film series, explained how her appearance in 2014's Avatar 2 and the upcoming Fast & Furious: Rio Heist could be made possible.

When questioned by Indiewire on whether James Cameron could resurrect her character Trudy Chacon for his planned sci-fi sequel, Rodriguez bemoaned: "He's so cryptic and I hate it!

"He says, nobody in a sci-fi movie ever dies. He always used to say while we were shooting, 'Let's immortalise this'. So, is he talking about anyone who's in a sci-fi movie doesn't die, because people will watch it forever? Or does he mean, we can always bring you back, because of the tree of souls or whatever?"

On her character Letty Ortiz's apparent murder in 2009 sequel Fast & Furious, she added: "You know, it's interesting, you never saw a body..."

Rodriguez previously stated that she would like to be somehow involved in Avatar 2, even if that only means visiting the set.

Fast & Furious: Rio Heist is released in the UK on April 21 and the US on April 29.
